This calculator allows you to easily convert pressure values from Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC) to Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg), commonly used in meteorology, medical equipment, and low-pressure scientific applications.

Definition: Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC)

The Millimeter of Water Column (mmWC) is a unit of pressure that represents the force exerted by a 1-millimeter column of water at 4°C. It is typically used for measuring low-pressure differences in systems such as HVAC, water distribution, and other low-pressure industrial applications.

Definition: Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg)

The Millimeter of Mercury (mmHg) is a unit of pressure based on the pressure exerted by a 1-millimeter column of mercury at 0°C under standard gravity. It is frequently used in barometry, medical fields (e.g., blood pressure measurement), and vacuum systems.

Formula for mmWC to mmHg Conversion:

Pressure in mmHg=Pressure in mmWC×0.0735559

How to Convert mmWC to mmHg: Example Calculation

Suppose you have a pressure of 500 mmWC.
To convert it to mmHg:

500×0.0735559=36.77795 mmHg

So, 500 mmWC is equal to 36.78 mmHg.

Quick Reference Conversion Table for mmWC to mmHg

Uses of mmWC to mmHg Conversion Calculator:

• Medical Applications: Convert pressure values for medical devices like blood pressure monitors, where mmHg is a standard unit.
• Meteorology: Useful for converting pressure readings in weather data between water and mercury columns.
• Industrial Calibration: Applicable for converting low-pressure values in laboratory equipment and process control instruments.

This mmWC to mmHg conversion calculator is an essential tool for professionals working in scientific, medical, and industrial applications where precise pressure conversions are required.
